Across
  1. 3. this can be found by multiplying the frequency and wavelength of a wave
  2. 6. the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second, labeled in Hz or 1/s
  3. 7. this is the label that frequency is given
  4. 8. the matter which a wave travels through
  5. 12. a measure of the size of a disturbance of a wave
  6. 15. waves carry energy without transporting this from place to place
  7. 17. the more dense region of a longitudinal wave (the tightly coiled region)
  8. 18. waves transfer this without transferring matter
  9. 19. this happens to wavelength as frequency increases
  10. 20. the high point of a transverse wave
  11. 21. the amplitude of a transverse wave is measure from this position to the crest or trough
  12. 23. all waves are produced by these rhythmic motions
Down
  1. 1. increasing this will cause sound waves to travel faster
  2. 2. a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
  3. 4. if you halve the wavelength of a wave, you _________ its frequency
  4. 5. type of mechanical wave that moves back and forth, creating compressions and rarefactions
  5. 8. type of waves that can only travel through matter i.e. sound
  6. 9. the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it i.e. crest to crest
  7. 10. type of wave that travels away from faults, causing earthquakes
  8. 11. type of mechanical wave that travels up and down, creating crests and troughs
  9. 13. the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
  10. 14. this is the medium which light travels faster than sound
  11. 16. the less-dense region of a longitudinal wave (the stretched out region)
  12. 22. the low point of a transverse wave
